BeamSquared® SP1203 SWIR Beam Propagation Analyzer
BeamSquared® SP1203 SWIR Beam Propagation Analyzer
The BeamSquared® SP1203 system is a compact, fully automated M² propagation analyzer designed for measuring the characteristics of CW and pulsed laser systems across the SWIR wavelengths 900–1700 nm range. With enhanced camera resolution and precision, it delivers superior performance for measuring smaller spot sizes, supporting large beam diameters, and handling high repetition rates. Its advanced longer optical train and patented Ultracal™ calibration ensure unmatched accuracy and ISO 11146 compliance. Built for continuous use, the BeamSquared® SP1203 system offers exceptional reliability for applications in Telecommunications, advanced manufacturing, Automotive, Medical (Ophthalmology and Optical coherence tomography).

Features
BeamSquared M² Propagation Analyzer
Introducing the BeamSquared, a compact and fully automated tool for measuring the propagation characteristics of continuous wave and pulsed laser systems from the UV to NIR to Telecom wavelengths.
BeamSquared Automated ISO Set-Up
This video describes the BeamSquared software Auto ISO measurement feature, which makes obtaining an ISO compliant beam measurement as easy as "align and click."
Automatic M² - at Production Speeds
The BeamSquared optical train uses a fixed position lens with movable mirrors and camera. The mirrors that direct the focused beam into the camera are moved to precise locations, translating the beam through the near field, the waist, and the far field regions. All these measurements and translations, as well as incremental beam attenuation, are automatically controlled by the BeamSquared software. Design improvements in the BeamSquared system have decreased the measurement reporting time by 2-3 times, making it possible to report M² in under a minute.
Manual M²
Manual mode is available for wavelengths greater than NIR, particularly Terahertz and above, and for beams that are too large or too small for the BeamSquared optical system. Users are required to provide a manual translation/attenuation apparatus.
2D Measurements
BeamSquared measures propagation characteristics in both the X and Y axes and displays the following parameters:
- Wֺֺaist diameters
- Fֺֺull angle Divergences
- Wֺֺaist locations
- Rֺֺayleigh lengths
- Mֺֺ2 or K and BPP factors
- Aֺֺstigmatism
- Aֺֺsymmetry
To optimize bench space, BeamSquared can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Laser beam input port is the same dimension with either mounting method, X = Y, and the same as the M2 -200s that it is replacing.
